Steady State

We are back! Covered in Auburn dust. We recap our experiences at Western States and discuss general takeaways on the elite and age group field.

Okay we really only talked about Western States but so what?! We talked about the conditions, interesting dynamics in the field this year, tips for crews and runners, and everything else! We also got on a soap box about how talented pro runners are. See you at States!!!!

The boys are back! And by boys we mean Adam and Sarah. We got a short episode in talking about some misplaced advice on spectating Western States as well as cautionary tales regarding weight loss concurrent with endurance training.

He's back! Addy the baddy. It had been too long. We had a good time catching up, discussing how trail running teams may evolve, working with athletes expectations of training, and even a Guy Fieri conspiracy theory

We got on the air this week to chat about all the various training camps, whether or not Nickelback is a good band (they are), the dangers of being labeled a "wizard" or "guru" and much more!

Sar-bear and Ferdy are at it again! We talked about everything and more, but most importantly, we had a good time.

Ooh mama! This was a good one! We talked about Canyons, Cocodona, Jim's entrance to Western States, and some of the behind the scenes info on what coaches struggle with.

We got on the mics ahead of Canyons to discuss the elite field, the amateur field, and all everything else about the weekend! We also get way too into clothes, crewing and Speedgoats. Enjoy!

This week we chat about the recent heat popping up across the US and how to navigate it with your training, races this weekend, how to crew with the right vibes, how we could be of use after the apocalypse and so much more!

We had a great time talking through the pros and cons of whether or not Western States should allow more pro/elite entries into the race and the different ways that could be accomplished. Other than that we talked about Disneyland and why we should all keep the joy alive as we take on new races!

The gang is back! We touch base on The Big Alta weekend including some athlete performances as well as Adam's 100k takeaways (it's not a play by play ultra recap, we promise), which takes us off on more than a few coaching tangents. A real classic episode!

Adam walks through his race day preparation and strategy for Big Alta 100k! We talk about some coaching points along the way but it was a fun opportunity to just go through how Adam is approaching the race. We did mention Chianti in the last 90 seconds!

Hold the phone! We have a guest! Like a real one. With real things to say. Alyssa Clark joins us to discuss her cats, life as a professional athlete, the value of an alter ego, a few hot takes, bucket hats, and more!

Adam and Sarah at it again! We discuss our lives, current training (even a race that Sarah is eyeing!), and go deep on some details around how many athletes we coach and the factors that go into it. Enjoy!

We return from the desert inspired and exhausted! Much to catch up on and take away from these race experiences!

We're not holding back anymore! We're excited about Black Canyon and we're gonna tell you all about it.

Coffee and wind abounding today! We recorded under duress and had so much fun.
